Not sure why, I'd guess it was when they added 1Xtra and needed space maybe? Someone else will have to clarify. IIRC they increased the size of the nme in about 2010, adding this extra bit, then it was removed again at some point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the solo projects have gone quiet, they're all still on good terms and eventually they'll want a piece of all the money that comes with going back out on tour together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Won't let me edit that post, weirdly, but I was gonna add that it's not specific to next year and since 2017 it has been one of the earlier predictions we throw around until it doesn't happen for that year and we put it off again. It really is bound to happen eventually though and R+L will likely be the first UK stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEV7N Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Can see this being the festival that Bring Me the Horizon step up to headline. Last two albums have been pretty solid, the latter getting a lot of commercial plays. Don't think Download would book them as a headliner. If they're aiming for a similar pattern to this year then I'd guess at: Bring Me the Horizon / Drake / Imagine Dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo think BMTH will do Reading and Drake would be a solid choice to get....I wouldn't care but others would. I'm expecting a similar acts to Dua Lipa as well.

I think if they're going down the road of making it more open for fans of different genres that they'd be a pretty safe bet with a stacked undercard. Admittedly it would do nothing for me, apart from a couple of their older songs l struggle to think of many other bands that are that dull. (Imagine Dragons). I think with Glastonbury being back next year that they'll get their pick of the lot, perhaps costing Leeds a headline performance by Arctic Monkeys.

dentalplan Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Glasto don’t always get their pick; Reading/IOW/V got Foo Fighters a bunch of times before they got around to accepting a Glasto slot. Don’t see why Imagine Dragons would headline next year when they’re touring this year and can’t even crack this lot of headliners. I don’t get why you think Download wouldn’t have BMTH headline either, when Download has about seven headliners in total and more of their fans go to that.

Arctics for me are nailed on for Glasto but I also think acts will say no to play the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE: Download and BMTH - I think they split opinion. Whilst I agree that they're definitely more suited to Download, I just think they're more likely to headline Reading and Leeds, mainly due to the direction the latest album went in.

Gotta be R1 headliner or sub even I reckon. Have definitely dropped off a little. Are they too big a topper for the dance tent? I thought that about Fatboy Slim and was wrong.

Like how Jack White would sub Glastonbury but as The Raconteurs he'd certainly be lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They for sure haven't grown but they haven't fell off either so I'd say it's pretty impressive to not fall off the face of the earth when you take a break and your not necessarily considered a 'huge' band. Their NME slot in 2014 looked very very impressive and seemed to get a pretty big crowd considering they were across from AM. They ended their set before AM came on. Only really clashed with Jake Bugg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye I wasn't trying to say Chase and Status wouldn't play there - it's where I expect them to play if they do turn up next year. Was just saying that Rebel Sound playing that slot doesn't really mean owt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
